@drmdwebb: " but not sure where to go to do that (Northern Utah if anybody has any ideas)."
Brigham?
In my novel, my protagonist hails from Plymouth, "the wrong side of the mountain" (relative to Logan, that is). He collects junk cars, trucks, and machinery, and at the age of 12-13 makes them...
The compressor on the ThorsLightning molle cage goes between the molle panel and the rear side window, freeing up more cargo space in the center.
@Peter Gosenya If you have an accident which jars that molle panel loose and sends it flying, you've got more serious problems to worry about!
I have the full-length version and swear by them. I can get them on or off in ten minutes, fifteen max. They're perfect for the daily drive, and off they come for off-roading. A few specifics:
1) height preferences are individual, but unless a person has a physical issue, you should be able to...
I keep my hoses and most of my tire gear in the round bag (about 18-20 inches) that ThorsLightning provides. It wedges between the right rear rollover strut and the window, very stable.
Copperhorse73, when you get your hoses from Thors, spray a dab or two of WD40 inside the clamping sleeves of...
ThorsLightning uses a molle cage to mount their NAPA/MaxiTrac-based 2 cylinder compressor. I have their package, and am very happy with it. They also have an adapter plate so their "Refuge" molle cage will accommodate the ARB 2-cylinder.
The "Refuge" cage for the 4-Door (they have a somewhat...
First, there are lots of threads on wheels and tires. Immerse yourself and see what other members like, dislike, used or discarded, and why. Knowledge is consumer power.
Scroll far down forum lists to Marketplace, specifically Member Marketplace, to to the subsection on wheels and tires. There...
Please note, I wrote, above:
...Then, when you want to mount your ski rack (and who knows what else, later on?) you can drop in an M6 bolt...
With an assortment of 1/4-20 bolts and T-nuts, I can fairly simply set up eye-bolts for hardware, threaded studs for recovery boards, and rubber...
Check your ski rack and see if you can attach 1/4-20 bolts, or drill the mounting fixtures to allow 1/4-20. (See my farmjack mounting pieces, above? I might have to widen the bolt holes a little.)
Another thought: drill (very carefully!) the top of the TRMR 1020 crossbar slots, a hole large...
I bought (Craigs List) a roof carrier that was designed to fit other make crossbars: I tried making M6 nuts fit, both triangular drop-in and different T-nut types, and they never really fit: either too large (wouldn't slide) or too skinny so I was afraid they might work loose when a load is...
"If a group is headed down, keep me posted. Would love to attend."
I'd love to, too, but those cartels scare me--so count me out. I'd hate to think my Bronco is on a Panamanian freighter headed for the Persian Gulf.
Especially as a local gangster flashes a 9mm and pops off a round? I wouldn't...
And to think they're expert field mechanics. My guess is, Matt and crew have jury rigged so many vehicles in so many situations, they assumed they could handle whatever this sand hill could have, and they finally encountered an obstacle that exceeded their skill set (almost).
A major mistake #1...
Check with the Utah Bronco clubs, here or on thebronconation.com.
I don't think there's much to do in Salt Lake, myself: urban sprawl, and Temple Square (the one tourist attraction) is under major renovation. Meet your friend and head south. Summit and
Daggett counties are attractive, but...
You'll get lots of advice. For Moab, get the Wells & Peterson "Guide To Moab, UT, Trails & Backroads" guidebook. Indispensable for deciding upon what you can, and should not, do. Between Moab and Canyonlands, there's an overabundance of trails. Also,, the DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer, which gives...
